CNN counterterrorism analyst Phil Mudd, who worked for the CIA and the FBI when Robert Mueller was the director of the agency, Thursday told host Jake Tapper that “the government is going to kill” President Donald Trump “because he doesn’t support them.”

“Let me give you one bottom line as a former government official,” Mr. Mudd began. “The government is going to kill this guy.”

“Trump defends Vladimir Putin, their State Department, and CIA officers are coming home. And at Langley and in Foggy Bottom aka State Dept headquarters, CIA and State they’re saying, this is how you defend us? We saw the same thing in his transgender comments. What is the military saying to him on transgender? Show us the policy. You know what that means inside government, ain’t going to happen. What did the Department of Justice say on Paul Manafort? You can say what you want, a judge told us we have cause to search his home early in the morning because we do not trust the guy who was your campaign manager,” he said.

“The government is going to kill this guy because he doesn’t support them,” Mr. Mudd declared.

Jake Tapper attempted to clear up Mr. Mudd’s comments, “obviously, when you’re talking about killing you’re using that as a metaphor.”

“What I’m saying is government; people talk about the deep state when you disrespect government officials who’ve done 30 years, they’re going to say, ‘Really? You send Vladimir Putin sends US officers home and you support him before us?” Mr. Mudd replied.
